Boss: *gives us company jerseys as a perk*
Me: Master has presented Dobby with clothes.

#OnThisDay, 5 Feb 1919, Mary Pickford co-founds United Artists in Hollywood with fellow actor Douglas Fairbanks, actor and director Charlie Chaplin and director D W Griffith. Their hope was to circumvent the growing studio system by owning their own creative output.

Pickford was also the first Hollywood movie star to sign a million dollar contract.

Parks refused to surrender her seat to a white rider on a Montgomery, AL bus on December 1, 1955. The act was unplanned, but she wasn’t simply a tired private citizen (as many history books have painted her). She was active in the early Civil Rights Movement beginning in 1943 and was the secretary for the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP.

My BFA, named Boo, would let me brace his beak on my finger while I gave him head scratches. I know a parrot's beak is sensitive, and resting it on a cold, hard cage can't feel great. Scooter won't accept that. Head scratches are on her terms only, and woe to he who interferes.

My Arch Enemy is anyone who tells me what they "think" I want to hear, rather than the truth.

That is what fucks up my world, time & time again. I can deal with mistakes I've made having all the facts, but when people keep facts from me, because they think I "can't handle it"?!?!?!

I ran out of night cream recently and I've had to use day cream instead.
Am I going to die?

Some of you kids are all "Eat the rich!" and, look, Lefty McLeftowicz, let's just make sure the remedy isn't worse than the disease, by which of course I mean let's find a cure for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease first.
